Hi! I have a problem that I have yet to have in my time of raising chickens. I have a flock of 11. Two roosters. One rooster is about to turn 3 and he other is 9 months old (son to 3 year old rooster). My 3 year old rooster has been pretty good to the younger rooster. My younger rooster has...

I love it! Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been very very busy with full time work and grad school! So I’m swamped. But I love this, so thoughtful.

Thank you all for your kind words, I appreciate it. Hope this can help someone in the future. Morning the loss of a fluffy butt is hard.

Oh wow. Thank you ❤️

That’s a nice idea too. I’m planting a mulberry tree above Clark (my rooster who just passed on) in the spring. He loved berries so I think it’ll be nice a remembrance and something for his flock friends to enjoy.

Sorry to hear about your hen. Yes I think I’ll continue saving feathers. I’m going to make an ornament with his photo on it. And framed photo with his feathers. I couldn’t do the foot print I was too chocked up. But it’s a nice idea for others.

Good idea ❤️

That’s a nice idea, I may do an ink print. I’m burying him today and I live in the middle of nowhere so I don’t have one of those plaster things. I have a background in art so wonderful idea.

Hi all — My favorite chicken passed away on Christmas. 🥺 I’m wanting to do something special with some of his feathers to have as a keepsake. What are some things you have done? I’m also burying him and I’d like to have a nice marker or gravestone for him any ideas appreciated. Thank you

Hi I have a 3 year old hen who I heard fall off a roosting bar last night. I went out and sat her on a roost by a fellow flock mate, it was too dark for her to probably get herself back. I checked on her via camera this morning she was fine but then I saw her back on the floor of the coop...

Hi, I have a a few baby chickens that are mixed. They have a buff Orphington, mom and a barred rock dad, my question is do female chicks spar off or really or have chest to chest dominating behavior? I know this is common in male chicks, but I wasn’t sure if that’s the same with female chicks...

Thanks everyone :) he healed completely! Which is insane because it was super bad looking when he got bit!! I’ve been putting hen healer on it. Seems to help.

Hmm yeah I looked at it just now. It’s not red. But it is discolored. It’s yellow and maybe a little greenish blue on one spot. around the wound it is trying to close up on its own and the non injured skin is normal pink skin. I tried taking some photos but it’s hard to do while chicken is...

Okay. Thank you for the response. It happened on Thursday late afternoon.. I’ll give it a shot and inspect it. Unless you think that’s too long of a gap? It’s not healed yet. It’s just his neck which I always discard. If something was bad I’d imagine it’d look yellow or orangey?

Hi this is a really unknown area for me. I have a pretty good size broiler that has a bite in its neck from a fox (I know because I saw it happen and scared him off —- praise to my trusty pet rooster for the alert!). This broiler is amazing in size and is functioning well and normal seems...

alright. yeah he's not going for her neck/back, he's going for whatever part of her he can peck and grab her feathers.. i break it up every time it happens so i'm not sure what exactly it'd turn into if i didn't..

he just turned one in may, and i have him because he kinda got a ruff start in life and found a soft spot for him and he's very friendly to people and most of the hens usually. I enjoy the roosters for the fact they protect the flock (my dominant rooster - fought a hawk off one of my hens --...

hi -- i have a hen that just hatched out a little flock of 4 (yayyyy!). Anyways I have my chickens around a premier1 fence and i have let my hen and her chicks live in my garage and they free range during the day. (i don't want the chicks to get attacked by my roo/shocked by the fence) Anways i...
